This book explores a new model for the production, revision, and
reception of Biblical texts as Scripture. Building on recent
studies of the oral/written interface in medieval, Greco-Roman and
ancinet Near Eastern contexts, David Carr argues that in ancient
Israel Biblical texts and other texts emerged as a support for an
educational process in which written and oral dimensions were
integrally intertwined. The point was not incising and reading
texts on parchment or papyrus. The point was to enculturate ancient
Israelites - particularly Israelite elites - by training them to
memorize and recite a wide range of traditional literature that was
seen as the cultural bedorck of the people: narrative, prophecy,
prayer, and wisdom.
